Reason: Quite literally : "Tartine de merde" is the equivalent of "shit toast" in french

* CardSharp: A few of the players at the game...but when they get caught, they're thrown overboard (one of which was Music/ClintBlack, who sang the song that plays over the poker playing montage.)* CastingGag: ** A bankrobber (who states that he's "getting too old for this") is played by Danny Glover, who co-starred with Gibson in ''Film/LethalWeapon''. Also an ActorAllusion.** Similarly, several cheats in the big riverboat championship are thrown overboard. The first is Clint Black, who is also the singer of the song over the very montage he's tossed out in.

* PlayingCardMotifs: Certainly expected in a movie based on {{poker}}. During a scene where Maverick tries to choose which card he draws from a deck, he picks the Queen of Hearts - a foreshadowing of his romantic encounter with Annabelle Bransford.

* ByNoIMeanYes:-->'''Coop:''' See, my feeling is that if there weren't any women none of us would be here. \\'''Maverick:''' What kind of sense does that make? If there were no men, we wouldn't be here either. \\'''Coop:''' Are you mocking me? \\'''Maverick:''' Don't get ruffled. Let's just say I was agreeing with you in a totally unusual way.

Ah, hahahaha-''I don't like being teased''.* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The gunfighter at the first poker game in the movie is strongly implied to be John Wesley Hardin.* HonorBeforeReason: When Maverick [[spoiler:realized they were playing with a fixed deck, he wanted a new shuffle, new deck, and new dealer. This is despite him understanding TheMagicPokerEquation and the fix could work in his favor]].
